Platform 1 (after increasing of height and increase of length for 26 boggies and shed making)
Earlier this platform had only station board before 2014-15
No platform height(concreting), no shed, no toilets, no shopstalls etc
When after 2014-15, many trains started diverting from here, this platform was ignored and platform 2-3 was constructed that time in south side.
But...
more... now it is being renovated to increase height and for 26 bogie type.
But I think railway didn't plan well. In North there are two lines, up and down for main line (ndls hwh)
Then this platform 1 having opening only to recieve train towards one end (south end)
North side line (Up line mentioned above) is two metres far from the platform.
Then there are six loop lines towards its south.
Then platform 2-3 combined.
I think if railway ne centre wali 6 loop lines me se do lines hatakar platform banaya hota to platform ke dono side ka utilisation ho jaata
But now only one side is used
